MIGRATION IS ADVISED
BY M’ADOO
Secretary of Treasury Says Most Pat
riotic Duty is Seek Work Best
Suited, and if Necessary, Move to
Other Parts.
Washington.—Secretary McAdoo,
on March 16, called on American la
bor not to object if the nation’s war
policy of conserving credit results in
curtailed building operations, but to
seek other employmeht, if necessary,
as a patriotic duty.
In a letter to Samuel Gompers, an
swering a protest by the Building
Trades Council of San Francisco and
other labor unions against shutting
down of buildings during the war, Mc
Adoo said:
“Men are needed to build ships, to
mild houses to house men working in
the shipyards, to erect plants to pro
duce war material, to run our rail
roads, to operate war industries, and
to produce food required by the Allies
and ourselves. These are needs al
ready great and will increase, not less
en, as the war progresses. If our
wage earners are unable to find em
jloyment for which they are best fit
ted and which they would prefer, on
if they are unable to find employ
ment where it would be most conveni
ent for them to work, the oportunit.v
is presented to render a most patriotic
service in this period of national
stress by seeking other kinds of em
ployment, and if need be, move to
other districts where work is to he
had.”
The above is significant inasmuch
a*; the migration of thousands of Ne
groes from the South, during 1917,
was solely for the purpose of filling
the shortage of labor, in important,
industries, due to war. Manufacturers
saw the need of Negro labor to keep
the plants open. The hostility of the
unions, in several localities, has pre
vented this safeguard, and the result
is as stated above.
